I cannot get over what a perfect name “Shabazz Napier” is. He sounds like a hip-hop-savvy jazz drummer who did a few records with Christian Scott and is releasing his debut as a leader on Delmark next month.

“Find your zone and just stay fucking locked in. The media is going to ask you what I told you right now. Tell them nothing. Just be aggressive every single day. It’s white noise to you. That’s all it is. Alright? Let’s go.”

CTRL is SOOOOO good. Always on repeat.

So how do we as children of these white parents influence this implicit bias? Asking sincerely and rhetorically.

Don’t just thank black women for this win- hire black women, support black women, vote for black women.

““White people, I invite you to look upon our example and steal it,” she says. “It’s called appropriating, and it should be easy for you because you do it all the time. So while you’re busy appropriating our music and our fashion and our big fat booties, try appropriating our common sense.””

“Try appropriating our common sense...”

Ok I would totally do this if I had that kind of money (minus the ridiculous suitcases and $20 dollar bills). Does that make me a terrible person? I’m pretty sure he donates a fair amount to charity as well and he has more money than he can spend, so it’s not like this is taking away from charity donations or…

Oh who cares? Ryan Murphy has been getting away with it for years on American Horror Story...

I’m talking about 92% of Black male voters and 97% of Black women voters, with a high turnout rate, in a state with some of the most pervasive suppression of the Black vote in the country. That is a huge accomplishment of political strategy that the national Democratic party needs to pay attention to if it hopes to…

ENGAGE BLACK VOTERS. They are consistently one of the strongest and most active voting blocs in the country, they continue to prove this over and over by saving white people from their own worst impulses in multiple elections, and the Democratic party has taken their votes for granted and done very little to engage…

Honestly, if this country is going to be saved from itself, it is going to be largely due to people of color.

As a Jew who is not Roy Moore’s attorney, I’d just like to say thanks, black people, for saving our assess. Also, fuck Alabama for the fact that this race was as close as it was.

Shout out to all the wonderful Black people who stopped this shit from happening!

We (in Atlanta) called my brother (in Auburn) and threatened to pull his plate at Christmas breakfast and dinner if he didnt vote today. Black folks everywhere should take this win.

MARY J. BLIGE got TWO nominations! One for Supporting Actress! And she sang ‘Mighty River’ that was nominated (Though Raphael Saadiq wrote the music, she helped write the lyrics!)

No nominations for The Good Place or Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, but the insipid Will & Grace revival is up for Best Comedy?

Europa League dwellers Arsenal are 7th on that list.

Juve are a European powerhouse. Spuds are, well....spuds.
